Connectivity, on-demand consumption and multiscreen scenarios have transformed the TV business from unidirectional broadcast to a much more complex, multidirectional, and highly personalized ecosystem. Current TV services both consume and generate large quantities of data
The focus of innovation on TV has shifted from content distribution to data management.
This is a selection of Optiva Media R&I areas of interest in the scope of AI & Big Data on TV:
Use cases
Responsible recommendation
There is a growing concern that content recommendation algorithms in TV services, particularly those based on deep learning, suffer from a lack of explainability about the latent aspects guiding the recommendations end-users are provided with.
Current recommendations favour mainstream TV content and dismiss an important part of the existing cultural offer, typically non-mainstream content, that might otherwise receive a greater deal of attention by end-users and society in general.
Optiva Media R&I aims at developing a responsible TV recommendation system that introduces societally relevant aspects related to gender equality, inclusiveness and cultural diversity into its core modelling component. It has a double beneficial impact by letting users know about relevant aspects of the content they are offered and by unearthing potentially interesting content that might go otherwise unnoticed under the tyranny of current mainstream-oriented.
MediaWatcher
Audiovisual content is subject to a number of regulations at the national and supranational levels aimed at promoting freedom of information, accessibility and cultural diversity while protecting audiences from inappropriate commercial and ideological activities.
Regulations include content age rating, limitations on advertising time, product advertising and product placement, TV family hour policies and prohibition/limitation of violence, sexism, disinformation, and hate speech.
Such challenges have become increasingly harder to enforce as the size and complexity of the TV sector increase. Governmental authorities and TV providers are thus in need of technological solutions that help them supervise and enforce TV regulations.
MediaWatcher is a cloud-based service for the comprehensive AI-powered analysis of audiovisual content, to support human supervision regarding aforementioned regulations. Service may include:
